2019
Scholarships

The Lutheran Lay Fellowship of the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area
(LLF) is pleased to announce the availability of two scholarship awards for
2019.

One of the five objectives of the LLF is "to initiate and support worthy
projects of a religious, charitable, and educational nature." The promotion and
encouragement of the pursuit of degree oriented education among Lutheran
students is the purpose of the scholarship program.

This program, which is an outgrowth of the Bly Scholarship Program and
the Scherzer Scholarship Program (both of which were administered by LLFs
Scholarship Committee under the direction of its Board of Directors), supports
this objective. Collectively, the intention of the two original programs was to
direct awards to promising students entering careers which would enable them to
help those in need of spiritual development, and/or affordable shelter and
medical attention both at home and abroad. This intention is continued in this
program focusing on committed applicants going into their third or fourth
year of undergraduate study. For 2019, we are also offering a scholarship
to a Lutheran Seminary student..

This years scholarship award is $2,000 each.

An applicant must be a current active member of a Lutheran
congregation located in the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area.

An applicant must be accepted by or already attending, on a full-time
basis as a junior or senior at a university or college, or a Lutheran
Seminary.

No applicant will be granted an award for two consecutive
years.

The application process is informal; however, information required of an
applicant is specified in the
Student Application Form. All applications must be sent by
